Furthermore, meetings will be tailored to research majors and schools that contain the adequate resources to be successful.

However, this past year we were able to recruit as many youth as in previous years now that the pandemic has been more under control. OCCTAC is committed to continuing to provide excellent programs as in previous years. We do not have current outcomes, but can provide to the Grants Committee, if required.
